High quality bitcontrol(r) MPEG-2/4 and H.263 video and audio decoder for Windows 98/ME/2000/2003/XP/Vista32/Vista64 with DXVA 1.0/2.0. It is a DirectShow(r) filter for Windows Media(r) Player. Both decoder parts, video and audio, are running as built-in DirectShow(r) Filter under MS Windows(r) from Win98 till Vista 32/64. It can also be used in conjunction with other multi-media players, which are able to load DirectShow(r) filters. The bitcontrol(r) MPEG decoder is very robust against input failures, like drop outs of input stream, like bit errors and other signal failure. So, the decoder is very suitable for DVB-T, DVB-S and internet streaming applications. The bitcontrol(r) MPEG-2/4 decoder is capable of real-time decoding of MPEG video bitstreams of all profiles and all levels up to High Levels with 80 Mbps, including 4:2:2 und 4:4:4 chroma formats. The decoder is compatible with ISO MPEG-2/4 and H.263 video standards and supports DXVA 1.0/2.0 (Vista), HDTV, 4:2:0, 4:2:2, 4:4:4, YUV and RGB, overlay. Most of the standard requirements are implemented, except minor usual features, e.g. except for the scalable mode features "Spatial" and "SNR". The bitcontrol(r) MPEG-2 Audio Decoder supports the audio formats MPEG-1 Layer 1/2, LPCM. For video files using the AC-3 audio code, audio filters of third parties have to be used. The bitcontrol(r) MPEG decoder is highly optimized for Intel(r) MMX-, SSE-, SSE2 or SSE3-equipped and for multicore processors. It runs on all suitable Intel(r) Pentium(r) processors greater Pentium(r) II, 300 MHz (CIF format). The bitcontrol(r) MPEG decoder contains additional useful features for customer applications, like overlay rendering of bitmaps with 7-Bit alpha blending, freeze frame as JPEG-file, clock rendering etc.
